And the election Tuesday in Connecticut is all about local races, with voters heading to the polls to vote for their fellow town residents. These are the elected town officials who have a direct impact on property taxes, schools, police, town services and more.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. To check your polling place,
